Description
Pomona College assesses its climate footprint and explore campus-wide options that the college can take to fulfill its commitment to environmental responsibility. The report presents a detailed greenhouse gas emissions inventory from 1999-2000 to 2005-2006 from functions and activities associated with the College. It also evaluates the case for pursuing climate-neutrality (zero net emissions of greenhouse gases) at Pomona and explores some strategies for reducing emissions from the main contributing sources. It is Pomona College's hope that the school will use this report as a stepping stone for making a more detailed assessment of its climate footprint and for taking concrete steps toward outlining and pursuing a comprehensive action plan for achieving climate neutrality. Specifically, the goals of this report are the following: to create a detailed inventory of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from functions and activities associated with Pomona College, to assess the case for pursuing climate-neutrality (net zero GHG emissions) at Pomona College, to identify some strategies to reduce emissions and achieve some progress towards climate- neutrality with minimal effort or investment (i.e. cost-saving technologies, campus-wide policy initiatives, and increased student awareness), to present the findings of the project to the Pomona College Board of Trustees, President’s Advisory Committee on Sustainability and the larger Pomona College community
